Queen Elizabeth broke another record.
With
25,695 days of reign,
she overcame the Thai king
Bhumibol Adulyadej
on the throne of the Southeast Asian country for 25,694 days, equal to 70 years and 126 days, from 1946 to 2016.
Before her remains only
Louis XIV, the Sun King
, who ruled for 72 years and 110 days, from 1643 to 1715, for a total of 26,407 days.
Elizabeth has 713 days to match her record.
However, it must be said that the sovereign of England, when she was crowned, after the death of her father King George VI in 1953, was already 25 years old.
Louis XIV instead had four, so for a long time her mother Anna of Habsburg took her place as regent.
The queen has long been the one who reigned the longest in Great Britain, having overtaken Queen Victoria who reigned for 63 years 7 months and 2 days, until 1901, on 9 September 2015 and who, in this curious ranking , is firmly in tenth position.
